Soon after a storm planetolet has undergone to Homeric invasion disgusting cherveobraznyh creatures. The radio transmitter
worked, and, apparently, they as moths on fire, crept on radio impulses - dense weights, coiling in a dirt, - and have soon
formed the whole pyramid of the moving live test. Michael Antonovich uslyhal only incessant rustle under the reservation
outside. Having looked out outside, the navigator has started back - in the hatch disgusting live porridge has begun to flow.
Hearts were insignificant - centimetres twelve at length, - are colourless, with black firm heads. Invasion proceeded about an
hour, the rain has then gone, and the live pyramid has broken up, animals have crept away. The radio transmitter has
appeared in serviceability, all has managed safely, but Michael Antonovich long did not dare to look out yet in a caisson,

out tobacco a pencil. Michael Anotonovich very seldom smoked in a campaign. His wife did not take out a tobacco smoke,
and for a long time he has decided to smoke only out of door, and always for some reason it turned out on the contrary.
During holiday the navigator quite often smoked, being buried from the wife, observing amazing care, and in flight sucked an
empty tubule, being surprised to itself. And here now habitual movement it has seized the acquaintance mundshtuchok,
diligently having beaten out seductive kepsten... What it? Perhaps, illness already here, in it, has hidden, waits. .
Companions will return to empty, died out planetoletu and cannot get to it at all. It would be necessary to hold just in case
opened the external hatch... Yes, but if any rubbish creeps in a caisson - after all will not expel...
